School of Communication alumnus, Bob Hercules will premiere his new film, "A Good Man", in Chicago on Friday, Sept. 23 at the Gene Siskel Film Center. The 8:15 show will feature a post screening discussion with co-director Gordon Quinn, Bob, D.P. Keith Walker, and editor David Simpson. The film will then run all week at the Siskel. A Good Man chronicles acclaimed choreographer Bill T. Jones and his company for two years as they create a new dance/theater work about the legacy of Abraham Lincoln. Co-Produced by Kartemquin Films, Media Process Group and American Masters, the film is a fascinating look at the creative process of one of America's great artists. Slant Magazine said of the film, "A remarkable testament to the creative process. . . a film about artistic vision and how it's communicated." |
